Admissions

Welcome! Thank you for taking the opportunity to visit our site and learn more about Holy Cross Lutheran School.

We love our school and think you will too. We’ve been striving to provide comprehensive, educational instruction to children for over 50 years and continue to do so today. Our approach is to encompass the whole growth of a child –

academically

emotionally

socially

and spiritually

as they mature.

Doing so allows us to prepare our graduates to thrive in all aspects of their lives.

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Listen to these families as they share how they feel about having their children at Holy Cross.

Tuition & Fees…

Tuition

Holy Cross Church members who pledge to tithe through regular Sunday contributions are not charged tuition. Members, who do not choose to tithe, pay a reduced tuition rate and the congregation assumes the balance as its commitment to Christian education. Holy Cross Lutheran Church accepts this obligation willingly as part of its ministry and service to God. School families who are not members of Holy Cross congregation are charged a tuition rate that covers the costs of education tempered by market factors. All tuition payments are due in full on the first of each month.

Financial Assistance
